Telecommunications company Globe is expanding its network in Metro Manila with new cell towers and capacity upgrades to improve internet access in key areas of the city. The improvements are focused on schools, major roads, and residential communities to meet the demand in high-traffic locations.
Metro Manila, home to more than 13 million people, continues to grow as a center of digital activity in the country.
“Metro Manila is always on the move, and connectivity has to keep up,” said Joel Agustin, SVP for Network Planning and Engineering of Globe. “Globe is building new sites and boosting capacity where people learn, work, and live to make sure our network can meet real, everyday demands not just today, but in the years to come.”
Globe said the rollout covers all cities in Metro Manila, including Caloocan, Las Piñas, Marikina, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Manila, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, San Juan, and Valenzuela. Upgrades are being done in schools, transportation hubs, commercial centers, and residential areas.
The upgrades are expected to help online entrepreneurs reach more customers, support employees who work remotely, provide students with stable access to online learning, and allow families to connect to essential services such as banking, healthcare, and government platforms. Reliable internet also addresses the demand for entertainment through streaming and social media.
